I don’t know when this is actually being broadcast. Judging by the overhead blimp it’s a show to promote their forthcoming Stadium Arcadium double-album, but they actually played more of a Greatest Hits set.

Me? Never liked ’em, sorry. I’ve had to sit through their enormodrome drone at the arse end of too many festivals. But they’re more bearable in front of a few hundred people than tens of thousands.

(The album’s on WEA, by the way, so I suggest you just bittorrent it rather than give any more money to that bunch of boorish, gak-addled morons and their ludicrous hiring policies. Bitter? Me?)

Somebody much closer with a much better camera has got some pics of the previous night’s Radio 1 show here.
